Accounting for military merits is mainly carried out by the people of the Privy Council, and the civil officials only need to send some people to assist and supervise, and other civil officials have other work to do.

The first thing to do was to house the captives.

Mo Jun reported statistics: "A total of 27,791 people were captured in this battle, including 8,013 craftsmen and 2,106 defeated soldiers, and the rest were family members of craftsmen......

"Well, there are five hundred and fifty people who are ordinary people from Qinghe Town, and they have also been brought over."

Everyone silently mourned for the more than 500 innocent people for a second, and then began to discuss the resettlement issue happily.

Xue Dayuan said: "You must not put them together, once more than 27,000 people are put together, they will become a disaster." ”

The others nodded, not the same as the homeless.

The homeless are homeless, and they are grateful for stuttering. These are captives, and no one knows what they are thinking.

Gan Xian said: "But these craftsmen are too important, it would be a pity to waste them like this." ”

Mo Jun said: "Although it is a pity, stability is the most important thing, and you can't put the cart before the horse." ”

Things are in a dilemma, and the artisans can only be most useful when they come together, but then they will be together.

Scattered and resettled in various places, many craftsmen could not go to the workshops to work, and the shipyards could not be expanded.

Wen Yi shook his head secretly after listening for a while, these people are too rigid in their thinking, and it is necessary to teach them more lessons in the future.

"Not all of these 8,000 craftsmen were shipbuilders, some were blacksmiths, some were responsible for processing the ship's plates...... There are less than 500 shipbuilders in the real core. ”

"Carefully screen, leave the skilled craftsmen behind, and scatter the rest and place them in various places."

"Even skilled craftsmen don't necessarily have to be sent to shipyards, blacksmiths can be sent to ironworks, and those who know how to engrave can be sent to printers......"

"You can't just think about the workshops controlled by the imperial court, the people also need all kinds of craftsmen to make furniture, farm tools and other daily necessities."

"Because of the lack of corresponding artisan shops, most people do not have a few decent pieces of furniture at home, and they have to travel far to repair the farm tools when they are broken......

"It's nothing in the short term, but it's not a matter in the long run."

"Our Tang Kingdom is different from other countries, our purpose is to build a Datong world for the people to be the masters and happiness, and to make the people live a better life as much as possible......"

"Those craftsmen who are not skilled enough can be placed in various villages and let them open shops to serve the people......

Wen Yi's words suddenly opened their mouths, yes, why do you have to send craftsmen to the shipyard.

Besides, there were originally more than 2,000 people in the shipyard, and now there are 8,000 people at once, and there is no need for so many people.

Only the best craftsmen need to be singled out, and the rest are placed all over the island.

It not only solves the security problem, but also allows the people to get benefits, which is simply a lot of benefits.

And then everyone is a sycophant, praising the wisdom of the American lord and so on.

The main tone is set, and the rest is easy to do.

First of all, the excellent craftsmen on the island were called over, and the captured craftsmen were evaluated, and the best 1,000 were left, and the rest were all scattered and placed in various places.

I didn't know what the captive craftsmen thought at first, but they were very happy when they saw the conditions given by the yamen.

In addition, the yamen specially helped them build workshops for free, and provided them with the corresponding tools and the first batch of materials for free to help them open their businesses.

People are afraid of comparison, and comparing with their previous lives is now like being in heaven.

Although it is difficult to leave the homeland, it also depends on the situation.

Tang Guo gave too much, so he could only say sorry to his homeland...... No, Tang is my homeland.

Each town and village in Mengqicheng, Yancheng, Zongbeicheng and other places has been assigned at least one carpenter and one blacksmith, making up for the lack of grassroots craftsmen in one fell swoop.

After successfully digesting more than 27,000 captives, the overall strength of the Tang State once again stepped up to a new level.

In the early morning of this day, Mo Jun, who was also the secretary of the household department, came to the court with a thick booklet:

"There are 7,000 people in Langhu, 31,000 people in Jin'an County, 70,000 people in Dongning Island, and the people under the rule of our Tang State have exceeded the 100,000 mark...... Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord. ”

The ministers were first surprised, then happy, and then said together: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord......"

Wen Yi was also pleasantly surprised, he himself didn't expect that the people under the rule of Tang Guo would unknowingly break 100,000.

This is a milestone breakthrough for both him and Tang.

100,000 people, compared with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yan State, Baekje, Goguryeo, Liang State, Qin State and other large countries, it is indeed nothing, but it is also a strong country among many small countries.

For example, in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, there are at least thirty people whose population is not as large as his.

The key is that the geographical environment where he is located is good, and the land of the big island hanging overseas is fertile, so he can develop without worrying about the incursion of foreign enemies.

In his previous life, Zheng Chenggong's father and son only had more than 200,000 people, but they were able to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty for decades.

With the current world situation, no one can do anything to Tang Guo if these 100,000 people are governed well.

As long as Wen Yi himself does not die, even if he becomes the king of the mountain behind closed doors, the Tang Kingdom can be passed on steadily.

I dare not say far away, but it is still no problem for a hundred years.

Therefore, it is never an exaggeration to say that the country is stable.

This is all good news for Wen Yi, including those who support him.

Then Mo Jun went on the second fold and asked Wen Yi to be the king.

His reasons are also very good, Dongning Island has completed the initial construction, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

He defeated the Yan State and demonstrated his strength, and the number of people under his rule exceeded 100,000...... He is already qualified to be king.

At this time, he did not claim the title of king, but it appeared that his name was not right, and the people could not feel at ease.

Therefore, he asked Wen Yi to conform to the will of heaven and the people, and establish a system to be king.

Looking at the surprised Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Mo Jun was very proud in his heart.

I fell behind last time I founded the country, and since then I have been staring at this matter every day, and this time I finally got the first credit.

After everyone reacted, they also hurriedly echoed and asked Wen Yi to be king.

If they ascend the throne as emperor, they will definitely oppose it, and at this time, being the emperor will not only become the target of public criticism, but also be laughed at by the world.

But to be the king, Wen Yi does have this qualification, so naturally no one raised objections.

Wen Yi didn't expect Mo Jun to suddenly suggest that he become king, to be honest, he was not prepared at all.

But fortunately, he knows the rules of being the king, and he has to ask three times and let him go.

Let's let it go for a while, and wait for the end of the morning to think about it. If it is necessary to claim the throne, then go through the process. If it's not necessary, discuss it with everyone privately.

So he said a cliché, why the people are not living a good life now, he is not virtuous and meritorious, and he is really not qualified to be the king or something, and then he refused.

Mo Jun and the others did not force it, they also knew the rules of three invitations and three concessions.

After the next dynasty, the news that Mo Junzuo asked the lord of the country to be the king spread throughout Mengqi City as quickly as possible, and then spread all over the island, and the next day Xiao Baishan and others who were far away in Jin'an County already knew about it.
